2010 WA Matchplay, lets hope we can keep one thread on track.... please

[adlo]

Great growth on the numbers, 15 entrants this year. Considering when I started this same thread last year I was expecting 4 WA OzGolfers. Good times.

Guys, a suggestion has been made to charge a nominal entry fee ($10) to cover the purchase and engraving of the WA Matchplay Cup (and get JC on there for 2009) as well as a prize for 1st and maybe something for 2nd. We have decided to run with this.

The list:

1. Adlo (14), tipped for 2010 glory.
2. Old man Simmsy (17), man of many words. The first person to be eliminated from the 2010 matchplay in 2009
3. Rowdy Roddy TourFat (9)
4. Mega-ShoeHo-Watty (11), the revolving WITB-man.
5. Cwazy Canuck (6), the 2009 WA OzGolf dominator.
6. Yossarian (19), no chance when his real handicap catches up with him. Will it ever?!?
7. iTree 3.0 (13), new and improved for 2010, will be updated with ability actually close out a match with less than a triple bogey.
8. Zuesgolfer (14), now permitted to join, has legitimate ownership of "the straightest driver ever"
9. SeldomEagles (23), brown cardigan wearing closet ho.
10. Pieface (25), Bobby Locke was called "old muffin face" you know.
11. Uncle Kumquat Nuts (24), or is it Lowball-Nuts?
12. The Nuffinator (7), has super human talking abilities.
13. Veefore (8 ), trying desperately to increase the numbers from Hartfield, even though they still have no chance.
14. TopDog (14), it is all about quality, not quantity.
15. Bruce Dickinson (11), hoping to redeem the shame that came with his scratching in 2009.

I have added current handicaps in brackets. Please let me know if any of the handicaps are incorrect, most have been done from memory.

Topdog and Pieface will be using WAGL handicaps.
Golfnut is using his "OzGolf" monitored handicap. Just so no one feels robbed playing him, we have allowed him to use this handicap in OzGolf events.
The rest are AGU handicaps.

The draw:
http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv48/adlo_2009/Matchplay2010Feb.png

The cut-off dates are the end of the month.

Round 1 cut off is 28/2/2010
Round 2 cut off is 30/4/2010
Round 3 cut off is 30/6/2010
Round 4 cut off is 31/8/2010
Final to be played by 31/10/2010

This will be enforced. In exceptional circumstances we will look at extending dates. However, as we have quite a few rounds to get through, we need to be pretty strict.

Please use this thread for updates and scheduled matches only. Please do not use this thread to discuss where and when you plan on playing. Do this by PM. If you want to invite fellow OzGolfers to play, ie create an "OzGolf day", do this in a new 1st tee thread.

I don't want this thread to be impossible to navigate. If it gets off topic I will ask for one of our lovely mods to delete irrelevant posts.

$10 Matchplay fee

Paid:

Veefore
Adlo
simmsy
NUFFIE
Pieface
Golfnut

Let the games begin!!!!

[dc68]

Haha.... keep a WA thread on track.
That's funny!!

[adlo]

So far, so good.... just no posts!!

Guys, a suggestion has been made to charge a nominal entry fee (say $5 or $10) to cover the purchase and engraving of the WA Matchplay Cup (and get JC on there for 2009) as well as a prize for 1st and maybe something for 2nd.

Please tell me your thoughts.

I would nominate $10 to ensure a decent prize for the eventual winner.

[Yossarian]

Yeah sounds good. I am happy to kick in a tenner. Should get the runner up put on that cup to. ;)

Nice profile pic.

[MegaWatty]

10s good here.

[Yossarian]

If you bring that chick with you, you can play.

[Golfnut]

A ten'er sounds good here too......

[adlo]

So my application as a late entry was declined ?

Dicky, I really appreciate your interest. However, if you successfully make it through a few rounds, do you honestly think you can keep playing the games by the set deadlines? Even if you are in our fine state, you still need to ensure you can match days/times with your opponent.

I think you would be much better off aiming for late March, the Sandgroper Champs, and then again later in the year for the WA NWRNTY Cup.

OK, is it safe to say I can impose a $10 entry fee? Enough hands are up.... and I think a perpetual trophy and prize is a great idea.

[Johnny Canuck]

all good in the hood.

[idgolfguy]

10 is fair.

[Topdog]

$10 is fine with me.

"Hot and cold" that just like my game , good call.

[Pieface]

$10 seems fair. Ask if you get discount for engraving JC on every plaque up front?

[TourFit]

$10 seems fair. Ask if you get discount for engraving JC on every plaque up front?


:shock:

$10 is OK with me too...

What's all this about keeping a thread on track, and only relevant posts here, Mods will delete etc...You mean we can't just post what's in our heads, at whatever time, in whatever thread...? Now that just doesn't make sense at all !!!

Taking this Don Joaquin thing a bit too seriously eh? :-s

Or should we rename you adolflo, the thread Nazi ???

[Golfnut]

^^^:lol::lol::lol:

[Veefore]

What's the story for players who have two handicaps (WAGA and WAGL), do they play off their lowest, as per usual WAGL rules?

Also, what about players that have lots of social rounds but none (or very few) recorded for handicapping? (otherwise known as sandbaggers). Is anything being done to try to prevent people from manipulating their results or is this matchplay just not that important?

[adlo]

Veefore, I'm glad you brought that up. I was having a discussion with TourFit and Yoss about this yesterday at KB.

We now have enough numbers to start taking this a bit more seriously.

I don't think anyone has 2 active handicaps except for me. I will use AGU (although they are both the same-14).

Topdog and Zuesgolfer need to use their ACTIVE handicap, ie WAGL.

Edit: Also, Golfnut is the only social handicap, and he is being monitored. The reason for everyone needing to use their active handicap is this: For example, Zeus shot 40pts around Joondy in an OzGolf day off his AGU handicap, but because he doesn't card any rounds, he did not lose any strokes. So really, he should now be off 12-13 instead of 14. Sorry Zeus, you are down to 10 or whatever your WAGL is.

[Veefore]

Thanks Adlo. I wasn't sure if it had been discussed previously (other years) so thought it worth clarifying.
I understand it is pretty hard for some to maintain a truly representative handicap.

[adlo]

This is the 1st year we have enough members to really worry about it.

If we get a winter "major" going, plus the March champs, we need to clarify these things now. We want to maximise the ability for golfers to join in. However, we also want the winners to win properly.

[Pieface]

Hard to win Ozgolf days maybe!! :p

Sounds like you're already well and truly on top of it.

[adlo]

I think about these things Veefore.

The OzGolf day at the Vines next week will be a good chance to finalise any handicap discrepancies.

[Golfnut]

Just want to ask this now up front (to save any hissy-fits post match);

Does anyone have a problem with my current, OZgolf appointed handicap of 24?

PS. If I play at the Vines (good or bad), I'm happer to have this adjusted accordingly.

[adlo]

Golfnut, we have all played with you. 24 is a good handicap for you. I cracked the shits when it changed to 27 all of a sudden.

If you beat handicap at any OzGolf day, expect a reduction.

[Golfnut]

Yeah....TF decided 27 was more appropriate prior to teeing off at Mt Lawley based on my scores on previous Ozgolf days which were averaging around the +30 mark....

Trust me to play the back 9 of my life on a 'revised-up' h'cap :roll:

[adlo]

Handicaps go up by 0.1, not 3 strokes per round :roll:

Handicap is about potential.

[Golfnut]

Fair enough......happy to sit on 24. Done.

[TourFit]

Having played that back 9 with you, I made a mistake with the 27 h'cap. No harm done I guess.

I might also try and lowball the 24 as well !!! :razz:

[Golfnut]

Don't you dare!!!! Played to it this morning so I think I'm on track.....
(Although I played an absolute cracker on Saturday morning; 9 holes for 6 over but that was on a piss easy track - Pt Walter)

[adlo]

OP edited. First match played today, Pieface successfully beating simmsy at The Vines (Ellenbrook).

Well done on your first success Pieface.

[Pieface]

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d147/Videlion/golf/FirstBlood.jpg

Shouldn't have cracked wise with the Sara-Lee stuff Simmsy :p

JC for round 2 is a bit of a blow but if I play near H/cap I have a chance with the number of shots I'll take in. The Canuck has got a mouth too from what I've seen - That should get the juices flowing nicely :lol:

[Johnny Canuck]

The mouth is only there for those who deserve it, ie. Yoss and Simmsy.

[simmsy]

Pie face you may have beaten me, that doesn't mean you're not a Sara-Lee it just means i'm softer!:razz:

when you play JC, take a pair of ear plugs or play with your ipod on loud, the tall skinny one doesn't take a breath between paragraphs.:wink:

I think what i'm most dissapointed in is the fact i miss out on the chance to have another crack at JC, i was the only one that pushed the guy in last years MP.

[TourFit]

Almost Nuffie-esque??? :mrgreen:

[Pieface]

Big h/c chop on the cards. JC should be happy.

[Johnny Canuck]

Nice!

How much? At this rate, we'll play our match on the very last possible day so that you can make it into the teens.

Yoss/Fit,

Handicaps should be sorted today for Sat.

I should stay at 4.1, Yoss and Fit will both still get back .1, but at least there will be scores on the board.

[Pieface]

I'm not 100% on how it works but I beat my 'cap by 13 strokes yesterday. 4 or 5 I guess?

[Johnny Canuck]

Depending on the CCR, you're probably looking at 4.

Nice shooting, soldier!

[Pieface]

It was great to play closer to my potential but not very beneficial in terms of engineering a matchplay sucess against the Mountie!

[Johnny Canuck]

You'll still have a good shot. It is very tough giving up so many strokes.

Keep bringing it down. It sounds like you have recently sorted things out, between this round and your destruction of Old Man River.

[adlo]

Well done PF. Let me tell you, JC is going to struggle giving up so many shots when you are making plenty of pars at the moment.

There will be plenty of updates after Sunday, looking forward to some Round 2 match ups......

[Johnny Canuck]

my round 2 match will be played on april 30.

[Pieface]

Now how to fit 40 games in going out at 0.1 between now and then...

Or I can make like Yoss and not submit any more cards :lol:

[adlo]

Yoss is playing comp rounds while his game of slightly off!

0.1 back Satdee and another comp on Friday......

[adlo]

Updated.

Most 1st round matches completed.

We might get some 2nd round matches happening on the 28th Feb. Bruce D is going to host a day at Joondalup. 10 guests @ $30.

I had an absolute corker of a match with Veefore today.

I parred 3 of the first 5 holes and was still one down. Veefore started par, birdie, birdie. I was thinking, "what am I in for?"

We turned square, both with 17 points.

The lead changed 3 times on the back 9. We were square heading down 17. I made an up and down with a flop shot over the front bunker to 5 feet to win the hole. I had a stroke coming down 18, so I knew I should win. I hit driver onto the fairway, 5 iron lay up and then stuck 9 iron from 125m to 8 foot while Veefore missed the GIR after a great drive and 3 wood. I 2 putted for the win.

Thanks Veefore, a bloody tough match, I really enjoyed it.

[Yossarian]

Adlo is going down!

[adlo]

I think it will be a very good match

[Yossarian]

My match was good today as well, played really solid until I won, then did a JC and sprayed it all over the place.

And I think it will be a fun match, hopefully I can lose a few strokes by then eh? ;)

[adlo]

I wouldn't complain.

[Yossarian]

So we'll do it this Wednesday? ;)

[adlo]

Nope, wait for round one to finish. Give me a month or two of feeling like I am still a chance. I don't want to be knocked out in January if I lose!

[Yossarian]

Good postive thoughts.

[Pieface]

I like my winning score against Simmsy...pretty sure it was 2 & 1 8)

Draw is looking pretty good for me from here. I'm getting plenty of shots all the way through!

I'll put my hand up for Joondy but I'll give way to match play contenders obviously..or if Bruce D tells me F*** off! :lol:

[idgolfguy]

Nuffie played really well closing me out at the 14th. We were all square till the 10th and then went 2 down when he chipped in for a birdie and I missed a 2 footer for a birdie. My putts didn't drop and Nuffie hit the ball straight and putted very well.

I had said earlier to him that he would have to putt very well to win the match against me. We were level to the greens but his class showed through on the greens.

Take a leaf from Zigmeister...buy some new irons to fix those putting woes id !!!

Oh wait...you DID THAT ALREADY !!!!!:mrgreen:

Joondalup is not about matchplay, I just thought the 2 could combine again.

I tried remember your score against simmsy. I remembered wrong. I'll fix it up.

[idgolfguy]

Oh wait...you DID THAT ALREADY !!!!!:mrgreen:

The irons and driver weren't the issue. 80% fairways and 60% GIRs are on Sunday are good stats for a 13 HC. Played the Vines on the Saturday and hit 36 points (CCR was 73). Vines fairways were 65% (used my Nike SQ) and 70% GIRs. Played Kwinana on Sunday and hit 36 points. Both days were windy but didn't have much effect on my game.

36 putts for the round is the issue. Up until a few weeks ago, my average was 29 putts per round but my GIRs were about 36%. Improvement in the irons have put more pressure on the putting. I'll probably pop over at some stage to sort out the length of the Newport.

I went back to my Ping Anser the day before and had 39 putts at the Vines. I could not get the hang of the offset. Surprisingly, the pace between the Anser and Cameron were very similar.

My have to try Cameron Bullseye or Titleist SC Bullseye next. I don't want to go back to my Odyssey 2-ball.

[adlo]

I should have collected the $10 for this from a few more guys on Sunday.

Don't forget gents, this $10 will go towards a perpetual trophy and a great prize!

OP updated to reflect those who have paid.

[simmsy]

i just put $10 into your account mate.

Thanks simmsy.

Sorry mate, didn't think of it. I'll pay next time I see you - I'd play Joondalup if there is a slot free.

[adlo]

Sorry mate, didn't think of it. I'll pay next time I see you - I'd play Joondalup if there is a slot free.

It will be first in, best dressed.

I can start a thread, I don't know if Bruce D will start one. I guess I better see if the 28th still suits him!

[idgolfguy]

Joondalup at that price - we could get another 16 if he could book that many slots at one time.

[Johnny Canuck]

pencil me for joondy

[adlo]

I have PM'd Bruce.

I think he said he has 10 vouchers @ $30, plus him. The other 5 slots would be $65 I think (guest rate)- if we had 16 golfers. That would split to be $41 per golfer. Bargain!!

When BD gets back to me, I will start a new thread.

[idgolfguy]

Brilliant!

Adlo, I'll fix you up with the $10 at Joondalup in March.

[Pieface]

Adlo - just transferred the $10 through ala Simmsy. I'll never remember otherwise!

[adlo]

Thanks mate.

[adlo]

Update.

Let round 2 begin!

[MegaWatty]

Can we do the handicap changes as well please? Just to get an idea of the competitors. Now off 11.

[adlo]

Yep, done. Not sure if Pieface is still 25?

[Yossarian]

Yeah I am owed another shot! :D

[Johnny Canuck]

7 for me.

[adlo]

The Link never lies.

[MegaWatty]

They're going to be null and void anyway if we
play in April or later...

[adlo]

True, they are an indicator at least. I might have to postpone my match with Yoss. Can you work his handicap out again for me MW?

[Johnny Canuck]

I need to change my golflink to someone else's.

[Johnny Canuck]

Predictions:

JC 3 &1
Nuffie 2 UP
Mega 3&2
Aldo 3&2 if played a Bunbury.

[adlo]

Predictions:

JC 1 up
Bruce D 2 & 1
MW 4 & 3
Adlo 2 & 1

[MegaWatty]

True, they are an indicator at least. I might have to postpone my match with Yoss. Can you work his handicap out again for me MW?

Yoss will currently get down to 20.1

[adlo]

I am injured. Can't play until April. Sorry Yoss.

[MegaWatty]

He needs to get some more comp rounds in if he's any chance to go out. After his next round, he can't go out any further, he can only come in. He'll need at least 2 crappy rounds before he can go out any.

[adlo]

I think he is going to battle to get any comp rounds in with his MASSIVE UNI WORKLOAD. ;)

[MegaWatty]

I was thinking the same thing. Any time you want a Thursday morning game Yoss, don't call me, because I'm on the same side of the draw.

[Johnny Canuck]

I think he is going to battle to get any comp rounds in with his SOFT CO(K attitude. ;)

:smt023

[Golfnut]

Predictions:

JC 1 up
Bruce D 2 & 1
MW 4 & 3
Adlo 2 & 1

Is there no chance I can drag MW down to my "scrapers" level and beat him like I did TF? ;)

[MegaWatty]

Every chance GN! I'm just a chopper at heart. :)

[Golfnut]

Now we're talking :) Just don't put me on another Links course again for the next match.....that was just cruel today.

[MegaWatty]

Hartfield?

[Golfnut]

You think I'm silly.....as my Nonna used to say "No no eh no" :)

Neutrel course plz....will have to have a think aboot it.

[MegaWatty]

Araluen

[Golfnut]

Could do, pending a condition report after we get some bloody rain around this place.

Played it only once though....how many times you played it?

[simmsy]

yeah go Araluen! i will try and join you for a piece of that.

[Golfnut]

This will have to be organized for late April me thinks....Ozgolf Day???

[MegaWatty]

Could do, pending a condition report after we get some bloody rain around this place.

Played it only once though....how many times you played it?

Maybe 6. Haven't played it for about 18 months.

Got some more pics coming in the WA thread at different dates.

PS...Was that you arriving at TF on Friday with the mower on the back of the truck?

[Johnny Canuck]

That's hilarious. I saw him on the Mt Henry bridge on Friday with the mower.

[Golfnut]

Yeah it was MW.

What can I say?...I get around.

[Yossarian]

Yeah it was MW.

What can I say?...I get around.

Does the wife know about that ;)

[MegaWatty]

Well, we kept in on track for 5 pages! That's good enough isn't it?

[Golfnut]

Wait 'til Lord Adlo reads all this junk :lol:
:smt013

[adlo]

Disgraceful.

Golfnut, MW is an in form ozgolfer, possibly the most in form of anyone. If it waits until April.... who knows?

Araluen was being pencilled in as a venue for the next big OzGolf day in May. We could possibly stretch the Round 2 cut off date until then and get the majority of the matches played on the same day.

[TourFit]

Still smarting at how I managed to lose that match yesterday...:smt013 The missus was happy though, as it's given her some 'new' ammunition to hound me about not playing so much!!

After playing it a couple of weeks ago and looking at how nearly empty their dams are and given that we have had the driest spell on record over summer, the course might be struggling by May if we have a dry autumn as well.

Might be worth putting Araluen back to spring time perhaps.

[adlo]

Can the now defunct matchplay players get in on it too...:cry:

Of course! Same deal as Kwinana.

Good point. We still need a venue for May....

[TourFit]

Freo public???

[Topdog]

Freo public???

You are joking :shock:

If they do good food at least me , TF and ID can do some keep fat.:-k

Are there any public toilets for Yoss to lurk around:wink:

[Pieface]

I am still off 25. Playing mostly stroke so my blow up holes are counting.

JC might want to play soon before I go out to 26, lots of stroke events during March and I only need 0.2 :lol:

What about Mandurah C.C for May?

[Nuffie]

Guys, is the cutoff date for Rd 2 matches still the 30/4/2010?

I tried contacting Bruce Dickinson with a PM last week to arrange our match and haven't heard from him yet.

[adlo]

I think the cut off will be extended to end of May. We have the time to do it.

However, please keep me updated if the other party does not respond, as they will be DQ'd if the time frame expires.

[adlo]

JC/Pieface and Nuffie/BD, can you please give me some updates on Round 2 matches.

Currently I have NUFFIE stating BD doesn't return his calls (I understand- BD is a busy man :mrgreen:)

JC/Pieface, you are inactive. I must have updates. Cheers.

Yoss and I have set a date for the replay and GN/MW are constantly working on setting their date.

[Pieface]

JC and I have been discussing regularly via PM. A scheduled date for SunCity was shelved due to green coring and sanding in the past week or so.

Current plans are for a mid-late May showdown :)

[adlo]

ROUND 2 UPDATES

MegaWatty through.... what was the score again?

Adlo v Yoss, rematch 30/5

JC v Pieface, still no details.....

Bruce d v Nuffie, still no details. If BD remains incommunicado, Nuffie will progress via default.

GENTS, I extended the cut off by a month. YOU NEED TO GET THESE GAMES PLAYED!!!!!

[MegaWatty]

2/1

Get your shit together bitches! To think GN and I finished before you!

[Golfnut]

2/1

Get your shit together bitches! To think GN and I finished before you!

I'll say!!!! Com'on girls lets get this moving!!!! ;)

[adlo]

JC through to the semi's with a 4 & 2 over Muffin Face.

Yoss through to semi's, where he will face MegaWatty, with a 2 & 1 win over Adlo in the 35 hole Secret Harbour extravaganza.

I'll update the image when I get a chance.

Currently it appears that Nuffie will advance via default through BD not playing. I bet JC is thrilled.......

[Bruce Dickinson]

what I said to Nuffie was that I was free yesterday or we could wait until he gets back from Sydney. However, if that timing was too late for the rest of the boys I would stand down. It has been me delaying things with junior sports and a big arse driving range and therefore it should be me who withdraws if its impacting on the timing of the whole event

[Yossarian]

I'm easy either way, up to aldo i think. Given the the amount of trees you cut down for him he should allow it :D

[Bruce Dickinson]

chopping them down impacts on my carbon credit earning ability

[Yossarian]

Mmm, very important that.

Mmm, very important that.
every dollar counts when you've spent $12.4 million :roll:

[MegaWatty]

Time to plant 12.4m trees!

[Yossarian]

Pfft mere pocket money!

[TourFit]

Time to plant 12.4m trees!

Why...??

...Adlo killed all the other ones with his misdirected shots...unless you plant them in THE CENTRE of the fairways Bruce.

BTW...only 12.4 million ??? That seems pretty good, trees can be expensive...

I'm gonna smash you princess!

[Yossarian]

Not with me throwing out the handbrake!

[Yossarian]

:smt069

[adlo]

I tried.

[Yossarian]

Do we know what is happening with BD and the nuffsta? I don't mind waiting a bit longer to lose to JC in the final.

[Johnny Canuck]

Works for me. I'll be off 5 or 6 soon.

[Yossarian]

Works for me. I'll be off 5 or 6 soon.

****! I'd forgotten about that. Can we hurry this up people!

[MegaWatty]

Works for me. I'll be off 5 or 6 soon.

We'll play at Hartfield.

[Johnny Canuck]

Sounds good. I still managed to beat you last time while babysitting your guest.

[MegaWatty]

Sounds good. I still managed to beat you last time while babysitting your guest.

I'll need my driver back.

[Johnny Canuck]

Not yet you don't.

[MegaWatty]

Good luck getting the equivalent hot melt into yours.

[Johnny Canuck]

Now you're b/sing me. The only hot melt was the 84g of lead tape you told me I could take off.

[MegaWatty]

Now you're b/sing me. The only hot melt was the 84g of lead tape you told me I could take off.

Did I have tape on that head? Jesus you've had it for ages!

[Johnny Canuck]

I forgot I had it until about 3 weeks ago.

[MegaWatty]

Nine tenths I'm guessing.

[idgolfguy]

Popped in the store this afternoon - saw you in the office having a chat so didn't stay to say hello. Hope you didn't think me too rude!

[MegaWatty]

Should have interrupted or just caught my eye.

I probably wanted to get out anyway! ;)

[idgolfguy]

Will do next time. Picked up an access point. It sad when you get so lazy to reconfigure an existing one and just go and buy a new one instead.

[MegaWatty]

Consumerism. ;)

[Nuffie]

I tried.


Do we know what is happening with BD and the nuffsta? I don't mind waiting a bit longer to lose to JC in the final.

Yoss, I haven't heard from Bruce in ages, he's been very busy with that new Wembley range/practice area I'd suspect.

Maybe on the skins day whilst you guys are up at Joondalup, ask him one more time if he still wants to play.

Or Adlo, would you say it's already been too long now? Originally 2nd round had to be played by 30/4! My last match was in January FFS.

The JC/Nuffsta "rematch" is looking more and more like a goer! Maybe this should also be played at Hartfield and seems fair e-nuff considering there is equal home advantage and was where I took a 1-0 lead in our little dule :)

[Johnny Canuck]

Next round at KB.

[Nuffie]

Next round at KB.

KB would be awesome for this match if it happens, as it's been a while since we've both played there.

It would be a valuable test for our games atm, showing where they are really at right now. Particularly, if we play from the blues or blacks.

You are right, it's even fairer that we do this at KB, because our first dule was at Hartfield and I may have had some local advantage. KB would even things up completely.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves yet. Bruce still hasn't officially stepped down (despite contemplating it a few months ago).

[Yossarian]

Heya bruce and not long enough, any progress to report?

[Johnny Canuck]

Bruce, contact Nuffie asap.

[Yossarian]

But allow for a long phone call.

[Johnny Canuck]

Be sure to change ears every 5 or so.

[Bruce Dickinson]

Unfortunately I haven't got time for this, I'm out.

[adlo]

OK cheers for the honesty BD. The world now waits for JC and Pieface. Please lock in a date gents, you are well behind schedule.

[Yossarian]

You mean nuffie and JC. I can see why you would get pieface and nuffie confused they are pretty much the same height. :)

[idgolfguy]

Sitting down!

[Johnny Canuck]

OK cheers for the honesty BD. The world now waits for JC and Pieface. Please lock in a date gents, you are well behind schedule.

We had a result before you lost guys did:mrgreen:

[Pieface]

He was not gentle :cry:

JC and I will accept our apology in caffeine form Don Adlo :p

[adlo]

Ah yes, you had a result the same day as us. JC, you are procrastinating from playing Nuffie, aren't you?

Gents, please lock in semi-final dates, you are behind schedule!!

[idgolfguy]

Are we taking bets?

[Yossarian]

KB double header?

[Johnny Canuck]

We'll be off the same handicap soon and the KB double header sounds great.

[Yossarian]

I would have serious issues with playing you, after i defeat mega, if you have to give me less than ten shots.

[Johnny Canuck]

Putting lesson on hold.

[Yossarian]

Ha. I will smash all of you.

[Nuffie]

We should book this match soon, maybe even for a day next weekend at Kennedy Bay pending JC's availability.

This is because I've got a few weeks of away work scheduled in for October, first at Christmas Island for a week and then Kalgoorlie for another two weeks.

The matchplay schedule has already been delayed enough and I dont want to be responsible for holding it up even more.

[MegaWatty]

I am going to struggle getting games with a new work schedule seeing me out of Perth fairly regularly.

[Johnny Canuck]

Kb was cored this past Monday. Give it a few weeks.

[Golfnut]

I am going to struggle getting games with a new work schedule seeing me out of Perth fairly regularly.

Looks like GN moves back in contention by default......;)

[Yossarian]

We'll sort something out Mega.

Maybe we could sneak down to Mandurah so you can play it.

[MegaWatty]

Thanks mate. That's very sweet of you.

[Nuffie]

Kb was cored this past Monday. Give it a few weeks.

Definitely, wouldn't be worth the trip to KB with sand all over the greens. A few weeks it will be.

[Yossarian]

Thanks mate. That's very sweet of you.

Do what I can, do I.

[simmsy]

hey when's this final happening? 2010?

[Johnny Canuck]

Hopefully Mega will have some free time soon. If I start working again, it could be tough as I would only be able to play weekends and he's not allowed out.

[Yossarian]

Surely HJ's will give you some time off the grill midweek?

[MegaWatty]

Hmmmmm.

[Yossarian]

Go Mega!

JC is a homo.

[MegaWatty]

Go Mega!

JC is a homo.

xoxoxo

[Golfnut]

OP needs updating something chronic.

[Johnny Canuck]

I love jealousy.

[Yossarian]

I love jealousy.

Haha, just trying to get this moooving.

Hopefully no one takes offence.

I love you.

[Golfnut]

Mega seems to not mind man love.

[Johnny Canuck]

I knew what you were up to.

Nobody cheers for a ranga.

[Golfnut]

I knew what you were up to.

Nobody cheers for a ranga.

Speak for yourself........Mega man's gonna open up a can of ranga on your ass.

[Yossarian]

Mega is a homo. This will be squared four times IMO. Result by December next year.

[MegaWatty]

I love jealousy.

You're showing a bit yourself!

[TourFit]

Potentially interesting Final, this.

When is it being played?...Might have to organise an OzGolf Day around it (as per last year) so that we can keep abreast of what's goin' on.

(Somewhere 'like' Hartfield, complete with goats, but with MUCH better greens...?)




Ahhh...I know, Marri Park! PROBLEM SOLVED.

[Nuffie]

[MegaWatty]

Great growth on the numbers, 15 entrants this year. Considering when I started this same thread last year I was expecting 4 WA OzGolfers. Good times.

Guys, a suggestion has been made to charge a nominal entry fee ($10) to cover the purchase and engraving of the WA Matchplay Cup (and get JC on there for 2009) as well as a prize for 1st and maybe something for 2nd. We have decided to run with this.

The list:

1. Adlo (14), tipped for 2010 glory.
2. Old man Simmsy (17), man of many words. The first person to be eliminated from the 2010 matchplay in 2009
3. Rowdy Roddy TourFat (9)
4. Mega-ShoeHo-Watty (11), the revolving WITB-man.
5. Cwazy Canuck (6), the 2009 WA OzGolf dominator.
6. Yossarian (19), no chance when his real handicap catches up with him. Will it ever?!?
7. iTree 3.0 (13), new and improved for 2010, will be updated with ability actually close out a match with less than a triple bogey.
8. Zuesgolfer (14), now permitted to join, has legitimate ownership of "the straightest driver ever"
9. SeldomEagles (23), brown cardigan wearing closet ho.
10. Pieface (25), Bobby Locke was called "old muffin face" you know.
11. Uncle Kumquat Nuts (24), or is it Lowball-Nuts?
12. The Nuffinator (7), has super human talking abilities.
13. Veefore (8 ), trying desperately to increase the numbers from Hartfield, even though they still have no chance.
14. TopDog (14), it is all about quality, not quantity.
15. Bruce Dickinson (11), hoping to redeem the shame that came with his scratching in 2009.

I have added current handicaps in brackets. Please let me know if any of the handicaps are incorrect, most have been done from memory.

Topdog and Pieface will be using WAGL handicaps.
Golfnut is using his "OzGolf" monitored handicap. Just so no one feels robbed playing him, we have allowed him to use this handicap in OzGolf events.
The rest are AGU handicaps.

The draw:
http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv48/adlo_2009/Matchplay2010Feb.png

The cut-off dates are the end of the month.

Round 1 cut off is 28/2/2010
Round 2 cut off is 30/4/2010
Round 3 cut off is 30/6/2010
Round 4 cut off is 31/8/2010
Final to be played by 31/10/2010

This will be enforced. In exceptional circumstances we will look at extending dates. However, as we have quite a few rounds to get through, we need to be pretty strict.

Please use this thread for updates and scheduled matches only. Please do not use this thread to discuss where and when you plan on playing. Do this by PM. If you want to invite fellow OzGolfers to play, ie create an "OzGolf day", do this in a new 1st tee thread.

I don't want this thread to be impossible to navigate. If it gets off topic I will ask for one of our lovely mods to delete irrelevant posts.

NUFFIE
Pieface
Golfnut

Let the games begin!!!!

I better pay....and so should all you other bums. I thought I did this at Kwinana, but that's OK. ;)

[Yossarian]

I thought I paid too.

Well done btw Mega.

[idgolfguy]

Didn't realize I hadn't paid. Who do I owe.

[MegaWatty]

Come to think of it, I may have used my last tenner to buy a beer at Kwinana. It was that hot!!!

I'll put the ten to Ads and he can work out the trophy/breakup of winnings.

[Johnny Canuck]

i owe $5. yoss is covering my other $5 as i bought a raffle ticket for him.

[TourFit]

I thought Yoss had all the tickets on himself...?
